--user-data-dir=DIR Specifies the directory that user data (your "profile") is kept in. Defaults to ~/.config/chromium . Separate instances of Chromium must use separate user data directories; repeated invocations of chromium-browser will reuse an existing process for a given user data directory. #### profile profile => '/path/to/profile/directory' # set the profile directory By default, your current user profile directory is used. Use this setting to change the profile directory for the browsing session. data_directory data_directory => '/path/to/data/directory' # set the data directory By default, the current data directory is used. Use this setting to change the base data directory for the browsing session.
